Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 473 Violet
Using the Violet as the end point of this inspection trip was not a temporary decision, it was something that had already been planned.Compared with other projects under development, the effect of the research and development of the Sea Soul Mothership is very obvious. It is very important just to supplement the expedition strength of the ship girls.

Although most of Huangjiang's battleships have the ability to reserve ammunition, this is after all a temporary supply and cannot be considered a long-term solution.

Compared with the Iris-class Sea Spirit Mothership that was modified from a high-end freighter, a standard resource ship, Violet Island is more like a real warship in Huang Jiang's impression.

Because there was no previous experience in building warships with similar structures, the hull structure of the Violet still caused a headache for the engineers headed by Stoll at first.If the original standard resource ship hull is used, there will be no fundamental change in the performance of the Violet. Even if it is finally built successfully, it will only be a larger version of the Iris.

The Violet is a project that Huang Jiang has high hopes for, and it is also Stoll's most important undertaking. Although his personal ambition is to develop a new gas turbine, after multiple rounds of subsequent research, the Violet will ultimately use a steam turbine.There were many technical details involved, and Huang Jiang couldn't even understand some of them.

In short, these two forms of steam turbines have their own advantages and disadvantages. At present, steam turbine technology is more mature.

Compared with the power system, the hull structure of the Violet is even more amazing.The Violet is designed to have a total length of 320 meters and a width of 32 meters.

This is a very familiar data.

As a result, Stoll and the others designed the ship based on the Lexington's ship.

The similarity between Sea Soul Carriers and aircraft carriers is their decks.The deck of an aircraft carrier serves as a take-off runway for carrier-based aircraft and needs to provide sufficient acceleration for carrier-based aircraft to take off.The deck of the Sea Soul Mothership is completely different. The reason why it is like this is simply because the armed repair equipment occupies a large area, and the area required to place five or six repair equipment at the same time is very large.

In order to achieve simultaneous replenishment and speed up efficiency, the simplest solution is to allow the deck to accommodate as much renovation equipment as possible.At the same time, in order to better protect the safety of the refurbishment equipment in the non-supply state, so that it will not be damaged due to unexpected battles, when no resupply is needed, the refurbishment equipment is generally in the cabin. This state is switched through the lift, which requires a huge cabin space to accommodate the renovation equipment.

In addition to transporting aircraft to the island, aircraft carriers generally do not accommodate too many aircraft on the deck to avoid affecting the take-off of carrier-based aircraft.Most of their aircraft are stored in the warehouse and transported to the deck via elevator when they need to take off.

The elevator is a very important part of the aircraft carrier.

At the same time, because of the iconic nature of the deck, the aircraft carrier can easily become the target of enemy air power attacks. If you also draw some eye-catching symbols on the deck at this time, such as a big red circle, then the critical strike effect will be It's even more obvious. If a bomber doesn't blow up when it passes by, it feels like it's a loss.

In the same way, the sea soul mothership is also facing such a problem.Compared to ship girls whose bodies are close to human beings, even with their ship uniforms unfolded, they cannot attract much attention on the vast sea. Therefore, apart from the initial target-locking attack, the battle between Mirage and Sea Spirit is mostly Sometimes, they change the direction of their attack according to the opponent's attack, and the error of shelling completely relying on observation is very large.

Compared to the fleet composed of ship girls, the Violet, which can accommodate the supplies of an entire fleet, can be said to be more eye-catching than high-rise buildings on this battlefield.If you think about it seriously, if the "Flying Fish" plane really flies over, facing a large target like the Violet and a fleet of shipgirls that look smaller than ants in the air, there is no need to consider who to bomb.

In fact, from a high altitude, even the Violet is not that big on the wide sea, but it is much more eye-catching than the ship girls.

Therefore, if an enemy really approaches the Violet, it is certain to be attacked. "How is the training of the damage management team?" Huang Jiang asked about this matter.

Damage control for ships is just a prop in the game, but on real warships, there is indeed an elite team with very high requirements for experience and training.The effect of damage control capabilities in war is very significant, and sometimes it can even influence the direction of the war.

The road to elite damage control in the United States probably started in Lexington.If the Lexington on the Coral Sea had done proper damage control, it could have completely avoided the fate of sinking, because the Shokaku Zuikaku, Lexington, and York City that were at war at that time were actually fledglings of the war, and they were still familiar with aviation warfare. Staying in the exercises between their own fleets, so the battle in the Coral Sea is actually not that exciting. It can even be described as novices pecking each other. Even landing on the deck of the enemy's aircraft carrier can happen. This is enough to explain the problem. .

Lexington's injuries were not much more serious than Shokaku's. The gas explosion was definitely the result of improper damage control.York City, which inherited the will of Lexington, also inherited the evolutionary mission of American elite damage control. York City, which was resurrected several times on Midway, perfectly demonstrated how extreme damage control can affect the battle situation.

York City, who was ridden in the face first, was forcibly pulled back by damage control, only to be ridden in the face by the flying dragon again.Feilong probably had bad eyesight and thought that the York City in front of him was another aircraft carrier. After all, in the previous report, the York City should have been sunk.In fact, York City was not completely hopeless after being ridden in the face by the flying dragon.

Damage control once brought her back from the brink of retirement. If the Japanese submarine hadn't come over to make up for it, York City might have really been able to come back to life.It's a pity that the last thing a war needs is ifs. Even though Haman blocked the knife with his life, he still couldn't escape in the end.

York City has largely given away its damage control to businesses.

But it is a coincidence that the three York City sisters always have their own little friends, York City and Haman, Bumblebee and Northampton, Enterprise and the Kitchen Goddess, etc.

"The damage control team has almost completed its training." Stoll introduced. "The crew members assigned to the Violet in the plan are now undergoing skills training on each Sea Spirit mothership."

The damage control team of the Sea Soul mothership was originally trained by Lexington. After the Yorktown sisters came, Lexington let it go and handed it over to Yorktown and Enterprise.

The reason why it is handed over to the aircraft carrier for training is because the damage control of the Sea Soul mothership involves the most important place, the repair of the deck and the elevator.

This company has a lot of experience. She has traveled across the Pacific Ocean. Which part of the ship has not been repaired?The reason why Missouri was robbed of the limelight was because its elevator was hit by a kamikaze.In fact, there is not much difference in performance between the company and its two sisters. Apart from the most commonly mentioned luck, the company's ability to survive is probably due to its own slippery position.

As long as you avoid the torpedo, other damage control can handle it.

This is the most valuable experience for an enterprise.
